Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years.......2007-03-13

Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century. It is difficult to appreciate him without listening to a variety of selections. This collection has some of his best recordings and exhibits the versatility and variety that he possessed that permitted him to "crossover" from opera to popular music with a ease.

I recommend this for those who already know Lanza to some extent but want to go into more depth and understand his marvelous skills.

A Must Have .......2006-12-12

I had forgotten what a beautiful voice Mario Lanza had. This collection contains opera and pop selections that exhibit the power yet sweetness of his voice. Fortunately, we have his CD's and videos so we can remember and listen to his gorgeous, vibrant voice and personality. I highly recommend this collection along with his wonderful movies, especially The Great Caruso.

The Mario Lanza Collection.......2006-11-10

I had forgotten just how beautiful a voice from the past was. It is a wonderful collection

The MARIO LANZA Collection.......2006-08-19

extract from most important LPs. Brilliant sound quality from RCA. Also included are soundtrack recordings from some of his movies. The are several reissues from Mario Lanza but this one is a collection you should have.

WONDERFUL!!!!!.......2005-10-19

The Mario Lanza Collection is a three CD set and it has 61 songs and they all sound great. The mastering on this set is excellent and the song choice is very very good. It would have been perfect if they added a forth CD with more Arias, Italian songs and Sacred Arias. BUT still this set is a great introduction to Lanza. Lanza's voice was powerful and beautiful; if you are a fan of great singing, you will love Lanza. Highlights on this CD set are; Be my Love, Because your Mine, Serenade, With a Song in My Heart, Temptation, The Lord's Prayer, Ciribirbin, O Solo Mio, Ariverducci Roma, and on and on. They are many many great songs on this set, and I highly recommend it.

The Best..........2006-11-17

the best bands never make it. The Movielife's stay was short but extremely sweet. I started listening to them because they are from my hometown of Long Island, New York home of some of emo-rocks greatest acts, anyway the first song i ever heard was Self Destruct off thier EP Has a Gambling Problem. i instantly fell in love. i can listen to all thier songs on repeat without ever getting sick of a single one. the songs are extremely hooky and catchy and the definition of awesome pop punk greatness.

RIP The Movielife..........2005-01-25

Before I go on, I'd just like to note that "The movielife" was an awesome talent that never got it's fair recognition. It was sad to see these guys disband, but the phenominal music they left behind will never be forgotten.

"40 hour train back to penn." was my first movielife album, and from minute I heard the chorus to jamestown (late night, snow fall, get us to the hospital, jamestown, 94 west, and a 40 hour train back to penn.) I knew this was an act I wouldn't soon forget. The unfortunate thing was that when I went back to the record store to pick up more movielife, the only thing they had was "has a gambling problem" (a 5 track EP), so I put this one on order, and man am I glad I did. It's WAY better than 40 hour (IMO) and has more of a raw, shout-along sound than anything I'd heard from this band before. Songs like "This time next Year" and
"10 seconds to late" have awesome guitar parts, and "me and you vs. them" has got to be one of the catchiest Hardcore songs I've ever heard. Bottom Line, GET THIS ALBUM if you're into pop-punk, post-hardcore or emo.

spladow!.......2004-05-22

This is a bad ass cd that which in an effect is great. Tell you about it I shall, this album rips ass it kills. This the second LP by the Movielife and argueably thier best. They have a masterful desire to mix old school, punk and pop which is pulled off excitivly. Anyways let's get to the songs, tops are Single White Female, Another Friend, This time next year and so on. The biggest and best thing that I loved about the movielife (and one of the things that seperated them from such contemporaries as New Found Glory and others) is the passion in which Vinnie sings his songs. He is honestly one of the best vocalists I have ever heard and was capable of crafting this band in such a incrediable mix of emotion, music and catchiness. This album is so catchy it just rocks, buy it for my humble words possess not the ability to objectivly review this record. In other words there is such an emotional level that I'm connected on this record. I've had many good times seeing the movielife, I have had many good times singin' along with these guys buy this record and be sad that they broke up.

the movielife's best.......2004-04-15

Although i love virtually everything that the movielife put out, this cd remains my favorite. i have been listening to this since it came out (thats over 3 years). it really is that good. this cd is packed with energy, but still is able to keep its pop sensibility. this came before the movielife moved on to bigger things (drive thru records) so it still has that natural, stripped down feel. its not overproduced, it just plain rocks. if you listen to punk, hardcore, pop-punk, or just plain rock you should definetly buy this cd. the movielife was a great band and it was hard to see them go.

Kick ... Cd.......2003-07-26

I got this CD, because i heard them, and im in love with this CD along with their other Two, i love that The movielife isnt well known, and this CD Reflects on it a lot. Woo Hoo go movielife

What a debut.......2002-10-15

The songwriting is honest and emotional yet never cloying or trite. A great album.

Wonderful!!!.......1998-10-18

Christine is an amazing artist, performer, and person. I listen to her CDs over and over. She understands women so deeply. You will be thrilled with her beautiful music.

what more could you ask for?.......1998-10-05

A fabulous cd by a fabulous artist. Christine Kane's talent is unquestionable. "This Time Last Year" showcases her phenomenal voice and guitar. Touching, ligthearted, intense, sexy, and funny, this cd is sure to work its way into your stash of favorites!!!

Amazing music, amazing lyrics.......1998-05-05

I honestly believe (and earnestly hope) that Christine Kane is an up-and-comer whose name everyone will know very soon. Her voice, her guitar playing (and that of fellow guitarist Richard Birt), her sheer ability to capture incredible emotion into every song, have caused reviewers to compare her to the Indigos, Shawn Colvin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. And she's at least as talented as any of these. This album, though somewhat spartan in arrangement, features some truly great songs and while more orchestration would be fine, it's completely unneeded. They're songs you feel completely comfortable in from the first time your hear them, like your favorite chair. Ms. Kane's ability to understand human emotion and her capacity for what Tom Robbins calls "joy in spite of everything" make her albums indispensable for anyone even remotely interested in the best of the modern acoustic world.

Tenors on Tour - Versatile and Beautiful.......2001-06-20

Tenors on Tour is a CD which will live forever. The opening songs by Placido Domingo, His arrangement of Blue Moon and Moon River, set the tone for the CD. To hear Richard Tucker do "Climb every Mountain" was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Who will ever forget him? Placido continues with Broadway..Maria from West Side Story and a Beatles song "Yesterday". Mandy Patinkin's "Over the Rainbow" is classic and wonderful! But in my opinion Jose Carreras has the most "goose bumping" production on the entire CD. His Ave (Maria) is so beautifully done it may just bring tears to your eyes. The "King" Pavarotti is the "clean-up Hitter with selections from LaBoheme,and he does "O Sole Mio" as only He can do it. This CD is a treat for anyone who enjoys fine music. You will play it over and over again.

Red as the Holly.......2007-07-01

This CD from 1961 was apparently so different when it was released that it went by without much fanfare. However, this Collectors' Choice reissue of the Capitol LP has gotten better with age. The concept of recording NEW songs written specifically for the project rather than a collection of standards was ahead of its time, but is certainly welcome to revisit 46 years later. The songs deal with feelings people have at holiday time and good wishes. It accents blue feelings that Christmas can generate as we think of things lost and people gone from our lives. "Seven Shades of Snow" is a fascinating song with a lovely arrangement with a cello that adds lovely depth and flutes that trill, "When the lights come on I see snow red as the holly & snow green as a pine tree, Everyone I meet wears a smile just for a little while." "The Merriest" is a delightful uptempo jazz swing track, "Friends for the loners, a song for the singers, grins for the groaners." The opener "Christmas Heart" is a gorgeous track with Christy's vocals oozing sweet sincerity, "For Christmas I would like to give a friend to every lonely heart, a peaceful country stream to the folks afraid to dream, that would be a start." This set bubbles with creativity and is well worth discovering for those looking to celebrate with variety in holiday music. Enjoy!

A Crystal Clear Xmas with Christy!.......2007-01-12

It was great to finally see some of the old great recordings come out on cd now. Being a collector of holiday music, & a fan of Christy's, had me jump at the purchase of this disc. Nice to have refreshing & origional holiday songs instead of the same ones year after year. I had several of these songs on about 6 different cd's, but to have them all together on one is great. Hopefully more of this style of great music will be re-released in the future? You can't go wrong with this one.

Christmas is...Not Always Candy Canes and Mistletoe........2006-03-25

Does the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season make you more than a little blue? Have you decked the halls and trimmed the tree yet still don't feel the warm glow of the holidays? Do all the incessantly cheerful carols and timeworn standards make you want to pull your hair out this time of year? If so, then June Christy's 1961 holiday album should be just the gift you never knew you wanted!

I've been a fan of June's for quite some time now, and when I read that Collectors' Choice Music was re-issuing "This Time of Year," I immediately ordered a copy. My only familiarity with the album was her hit song, "The Merriest" which was included on some other Christmas compilation CD I already owned. I knew nothing of the other songs - production style, lyrical content, vocal styling - and was a bit worried about the lack of traditional fare on "This Time of Year." Would I dig a seemingly non-holiday Christmas album? The short answer to that question is a resounding "YES!" Despite the omissions of "White Christmas" and "Winter Wonderland," among other holiday chestnuts, "This Time of Year" sparkles with the spirit of the season in such songs as "The Little Star," "Hang Them on the Tree," and "The Merriest." June's voice echoes the sentiments that the holidays are not the same wonderful occasion for everyone and provides the flip side to each beloved Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, and Dean Martin carol piped incessantly throughout shopping malls from Thanksgiving till December 24th!

June sums up the theme of "This Time of Year" on the final track, "Winter's Got Spring Up its Sleeve," when she sings:

"So the season makes you sad and sentimental/Memories it brings to mind are things you'd rather leave behind."

"This Time of Year" has something for everybody and if you're like me and often find something lacking in the celebration of the holidays, do yourself a favor and buy this album. Give it an honest listen and I can all but guarantee June's voice will win you over with songs of her sometimes joyous, sometimes melancholy Christmas.

Isn't it nice to know you're not the only one who feels a little blue this time of year?

THIS TIME OF YEAR.......2006-03-22

CHRISTMAS ALBUMS JUST DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. OF ALL THE CHRISTMAS ALBUMS I HAVE--THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL AND BEST. CAN YOU IMAGINE ANYONE ELSE DOING THESE SONGS [LIKE "THIS TIME OF YEAR" "THE MERRIEST" "CHRISTMAS HEART" AND THE OTHER SONGS ON THIS ALBUM] OTHER THAN THE LATE AND GREAT JUNE CHRISTY

A haunting, lovely, joyous, fragile Christmas to you from June .......2006-03-08

I ran across the LP shortly after moving to Chicago in 1964. I, who had everything June had ever recorded, had no idea such an album existed. I in fact got a disc jockey copy. Only Capitol recorded albums of entirely new material with its traditional pop artists, most notably Nat King Cole's "Wild Is Love" later recorded by Patti Drew, and Judy Garland's "The Letter" with Gordon Jenkins. June's Christmas album was a hidden treasure. Such mature, wistful, melancholy and wise holiday music was seldom attempted by any artist and the songwriters who fashioned this album found the perfect voice to interpret it in their friend Shirley Luster Cooper. Everything here is amazing, from the vocals to the arrangements to the songs themselves. I can't think of another Christmas album like it. And now here it is finally, an unexpectedly, on compact disc to enjoy Christmas after Christmas and all yearround. You really must hear it to realize what a work of genius this album is.
